I can't play audio on non-default devices.

Running aplay with -D hdmi does not work, failing with this message: aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory

The default card has no "hdmi" device.

Try -D hdmi:CARD=NVidia (or better plug:hdmi:CARD=NVidia to get automatic sample format conversions).
